"Oh, no single piece of our mental world is to be hermetically sealed off from the rest, and there is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry: 'Mine!'"

— Abraham Kuyper, "Sphere Sovereignty" (1880), inaugural address at the opening of the Free University of Amsterdam.

Something new for us: our first piece of long-form video.

We sat down with Dr. Benjamin Quinn—Director of the L. Russ Bush Center for Faith and Culture—and our own dean, Dr. Dennis Greeson, co-authors of The Way of Christ in Culture with @BHAcademic, for a conversation on culture, wisdom, and the faithfulness of ordinary life.

We'd love for you to watch ↓

We are rooted in Christ's Word—not as mere academic exercise, but as the wellspring of true wisdom. In an age of competing voices and cultural confusion, we must learn to rightly read and faithfully interpret the Word that anchors us in truth.

“Christian theology is a work of regenerate intelligence, awakened and illuminated by divine instruction to consider a twofold object. This object is, first, God in himself in the unsurpassable perfection of his inner being and work as Father, Son and Spirit and in his outer operations, and, second and by derivation, all other things relative to him.”

— John Webster, God without measure, Vol. 1.

"The Word having personally united to himself flesh animated by a rational soul, did in an ineffable and inconceivable manner become man, and was called the Son of Man."

"The sacred and inspired Scriptures are sufficient to declare the truth."

A conversation coming next week.

Drs. Kevin Vanhoozer, Dennis Greeson, and Gregory Parker Jr. on the theological encyclopedia, the virtue of retrieval, the danger of reading the Bible in a way that simply validates what you already believe—and what it looks like to step into a text rather than merely stand at a critical distance from it.

From brand strategy, identity, and web design, to animation and film, we have been hard at work behind the scenes, quietly polishing the final assets for a reveal that marks a new chapter in academic excellence. Partnering with visionary leaders to launch a groundbreaking academic offering has been a great privilege.

Here is a quick peek behind the lens from our recent shoot. We can’t wait to show you the full picture soon. For now, keep your eyes on this space. Much more to come. #foreknown #truthmadevisible
